The original developer of CopperheadOS is continuing the work as GrapheneOS, after a split with his former business partner, over dilutions of the privacy guarantees, among other things. https://grapheneos.org/

Highly recommend this solution.

This is where I ended up after countless hours of research looking for security/privacy.

Has anyone found sources for this?

Simply read the GrapheneOS IRC/Matrix channel. They log.

Always feels like treading google for some other random developers

> random developers

Micay, of GrapheneOS and original creator of CopperheadOS, is not some random. They have pushed AOSP security ahead and have made many upstream contributions over the years.

I don't think he was the creator. None of the more reliable sources I see say that he is. They all say he was an employee.

I remember when Micay first released CopperheadOS. I spent most of early 2015 learning enough about kernels to eventually successfully port it to the OnePlus One in November of 2015 with near full PaX support. https://github.com/Divested-Mobile/DivestOS-Build/blob/c0083...

You're reading shit/publicly editable sources.

Micay originated the Android Hardening Project, I believe it was called, and is the brains behind what was CopperheadOS, and now the superior GrapheneOS.

He was also a pretty instrumental Rust developer.
